RAFA BENITEZ reckons the ongoing return to form and fitness of three of his biggest stars is just the shot in the arm Liverpool need as they bid to get back to their best.
The disappointment of Wednesday night's draw with Wigan was only eased in the eyes of the Reds boss by the fact the game allowed Martin Skrtel, Fernando Torres and Javier Mascherano to get more playing time under their belts.
Incredibly, before last week the trio had not appeared in the same consecutive games all season.
Skrtel was out for three months with a knee ligament injury, Torres has been in an out of the side because of hamstring problems and Mascherano has not figured as regularly as expected because of struggles with his form and fitness following his participation in the Olympic Games in Beijing.
But, having seen them all start against Wigan and Everton, Benitez now believes it won't be long before all three are back to their best.
"We have some good options now," said the Reds boss.
"We have Skrtel andMascherano, who have been much better, Agger who is fit again and Torres who is coming back.
